The double shooting was reported at 5:38 p.m. Sunday near an apartment complex in the 15700 block of Eucalyptus Avenue. The woman was shot first, and the man was struck a few minutes later, said Lt. Eric Lindblom of the Lakewood Sheriff's station.

Both victims had been walking, but not together, and they didn't know each other, he said.

The victims were taken to Lynwood's St. Francis Medical Center, where they were listed in stable condition, Lindblom said.
